Everything appears to be fixed with the sound system, so Anna leaves the stage and Noah starts to lip sync as Eli does the real singing back stage. You can see Noah's confidence growing as it appears that he's actually getting away with the scheme. "Who Killed Rock 'n Roll?" Noah seemingly belts out the lyrics and the band is hot. Backstage Patrick, Anna and Robin and getting into it, with Eli sitting in a wheelchair with a microphone in front of him. Epiphany is there, too, as Eli's nurse. Eli's face is elated as he watches Noah on stage playing air guitar with his band. Noah doesn't miss a beat as he strums the final chord of the song. The crowd goes nuts and Noah looks much more alive than he ever has in the operating room!
The concert is over and Noah rushes off the stage and into Anna's arms for a big kiss. Eli tells him that his moves were "almost" as good as his. Patrick and Robin tell Noah how impressed they are and Eli says if Noah ever needs anything, just give a "shout out." Noah is elated as he explains privately to Patrick that he feels so much higher than alcohol ever made him feel! In fact, he is going to call Eli and let him know that he can always be a stand in for him. (Patrick scowls a little when he hears this tidbit.)
The foursome go up to the rooftop because they hear a helicopter and Noah says that they should all hop on it and go party in Manhattan until the sun comes up. Anna sadly says that the chopper is for her -- she has a new assignment. She hugs Patrick and then Noah plants a big kiss on her "until next time". Patrick is impressed with his father's passion and Noah admits that he has learned a lot from Eli Love these past few weeks, mainly not to live life on hold. Anna tells Robin that she'll be back sooner than she thinks and they hug, cry and look downright beautiful. Anna says that if she can do international espionage, she can do the grandmother thing. Patrick looks at Robin like a defeated man.
Anna reminds Patrick and Robin that the concert is less than an hour away so there is no time to get someone else. She assures Noah that he can impersonate Eli from the stage. Noah is nervous but decides to try. Anne decides they need a Plan B. Anna and Robin find Eli, with Epiphany, at the hospital. She gushes about a concert in Dubai and then gets down to business. She tells him about Noah's accident. Eli volunteers to take the stage himself. Epiphany puts the kibosh on that plan very quickly! Robin decides to issue a temporary release, promising that Epiphany won't get in trouble, but that doesn't calm the nurse down. Eli shows how great he is feeling by standing up but he falls back into his wheelchair, weakened.
At the concert, the stage manager is getting nervous because the crowd is nuts and Eli is nowhere to be found. Patrick takes the stage to promote LifeBeat, and calm the crowd, as he talks Noah takes the stage! Noah waves at the crowd and then runs off! The stage manager goes out to calm things down as Epiphany, Anna and Robin arrive with Eli. They decide to send Noah on stage to play guitar while Eli sings and talks from backstage! Noah goes on stage but as the concert starts they lose all of the vocal tracks!
Anna is standing on the Eli Love concert stage pretending that she's a rock star. Robin finds her there and compliments her mother for all she's done to keep the concert intact despite the headliner's illness! Patrick arrives, followed by the man of the hour. Noah timidly tells them that there's a change of plans and he won't be performing tonight. Patrick is disgusted with him for bailing and Anna says that it's just stage fright. Noah says that he's a neurosurgeon and doesn't know what he was thinking! Patrick says that LIFEBeat is counting on this fundraiser, and then reminds Noah that he always is letting him down. Robin reminds Patrick that this isn't about him, and Noah defensively says that everything is about Patrick, as always. The two men argue over their old baggage and Patrick tells Noah to admit his newest failure.
Back on the concert stage, Patrick and Anna sit down to talk. He offers to make a sizable contribution to LIFEBeat to make up for bailing. Anna is more interested in knowing why Patrick went off on him. Noah explained that after Patrick's mother died, he dropped the ball as a father. Anna shares some of her experiences as not-quite-mother-of-the year and then says that she's just grateful that Robin still wants her in her life. Anna suggests that Noah go for it on the stage and finally earn Patrick's respect. Noah says that he thinks it will be too hard to even put one foot on the stage. Anna asks what if Patrick's love was on the line?
Patrick and Robin rush over to the stage and find Noah and Anna. Noah reports that he's going to do the show after all, or at least "give it one hell of a shot." Patrick says that he was wrong before -- this concert isn't about their personal drama. Noah asks if he really became a surgeon because of him? Patrick says that he did. Noah asks how he missed such a thing and Patrick softly says that he had a super hero for a father. The two men smile at each other for the first time in, well, forever?
Over at the concert stage, Noah trips over the microphone and some equipment lands on him. Anna, Patrick and Robin rush to help him and he's fine. Except for his throat.
Noah is dressed as Eli Love at the hospital. Epiphany tells him that he needs to get his head examined. Noah plays with her and suggests that he call himself Dr. Love from now on. Just then, Patrick and Robin walk up to the nurses' station and continue to bicker. Robin says that all Patrick cares about is sex and then stomps off. Noah shrugs and tells Patrick that he's on his own.
